I would give you the same advice my Dr gave me. Have your kids . If we find a way to treat or cure the disease and your too old to have kids then you will regret it. If you have kids you will always find a way to care for them. It may be hard but its a lot harder to have kids as you get older. She also told me most of her Fibro pt's went into some sort of remissions. That was true for me each pregnancy. It brought a 75% remission at around 4 months that lasted 6 months post pregnancy just long enough to care for a newborn. My Drs joke I should just stay pregnant because I love it so much! I will say though, each time my full blown symptoms started to come back I would cry because it was like seeing a train coming at you that you could not stop from running you down. It is also harder when you have an older child that does not nap anymore. My migraines are triggered by sounds, light and lack of sleep so that is an issue with kids. We have from time to time had nanny's come in to help especially with housework which kills me. My husband also took full paternity leave and was able to work from home when my symptoms were bad (he is a social worker). If you have a plan it will be worth it. Although some days I say "what was I thinking!!" LOLROTF
